Just give in and get a trunk from one of the 9000 wrecked ones on ebay and throw a huge wing on it.
I know swapping trunks shouldn't take too long but I have a few issues with getting another trunk and big wing approach:
  • - Cost: I cannot find any used OEM trunk that costs less than $400 and there is only one trunk for sale as of now.. also the cost of the expensive wings $1500-1600 , they all add up .. and if I could only gain 3-4 tenths of a second with that kind of investment, I don't know
  • - Also the drag penalties of the big wings: on the APR's website it clearly states that the design of the car (coupe, hatchback, sedan) has a lot to do with the height and width of the wing size as well as the power and the size of the car.. I am pretty sure you can gain a lot of grip in high speed turns but not sure about the rest of the track
